It not freeware, but TMpgEnc DVD Author will work if the video_ts file
is missing.
Just rename the .vob to .mpg and use the "Add file" button rather than
the
"Add DVD video" button.

Thanks for the suggestions. They have a trial version which you need to
validate online, and which fully works for 14 days - ideal for me since I
only need it once.

Alas, it doesn't work. I've tried importing the vob file like you said, but
now I get the following errors:

"The NTSC DVD-Video standard does not accept MPEG-2 with a resolution of
720x576"
and
"The NTSC DVD-Video standard does not accept a framerate 25 fps"

Pff... If I can't find a tool by the end of the week, I'll just need to
roll my own. Apparently there is a niche for it

Whoops... Spoke too soon... That'll teach me to test new software at 2 in
the morning

Apparently I missed the option on the first screen to choose between NTSC
and PAL. After making the switch, I was able to not only import the vob I
wanted to process, but also to cut out the range and export it to a new vob
file!

Thanks for the hint - I've already converted the vob file thanks to Bill,
but I'll download it anyway and give it a try... You never know when you
might need it again

And I use VideoRedo to manipulate the VOBs. Also not freeware but
one of the best programs I've purchased. I've just edited down
programs this AM that I recorded a few months ago from cable.

DVDDecryptor in the IFO mode pulls out the VOBs and VideoRedo edits
them quite nicely.
